1+1. Relational Art: at MAXXI a major exhibition reflects on the legacy of Nicolas Bourriaud's critical revolution

The MAXXI museum in Rome has opened a major exhibition titled "1+1. Relational Art," which examines the legacy of Nicolas Bourriaud's influential 1998 book "Relational Aesthetics." The show brings together works by artists from the 1990s generation—including Maurizio Cattelan, Douglas Gordon, Pierre Huyghe, Philippe Parreno, Liam Gillick, and Dominique González-Foerster—who pioneered art based on human interactions and social contexts rather than traditional autonomous objects. The exhibition reflects on how Bourriaud's theory, developed from studio visits with these young artists, redefined art criticism by proposing that artworks be judged by the interhuman relations they produce or evoke.
